Weirdly Awesome Publicity Stunt Sees Horror Icons At A Baseball Game
I'll open with this, Japan is amazing. I say that without a spec of irony or sarcasm. Sure, they are a little weird sometimes, but that's what makes them amazing. That awesome weirdness shone bright like a diamond during a publicity stunt for the upcoming movie Sadako vs. Kayako (The Ring and The Grudge, respectively) which showcases two iconic, long-haired, creepy ladies going head to head. Toshio's going to be there, too, I guess. So how do you promote a Freddy vs Jason styled movie with two of Japan's most iconic horror characters? Have Sadako throw the ceremonial first pitch to Kayako at a baseball game, of course. Because if there are two things people love, it's creepy dark haired ladies and baseball.

The Walking Dead: Are Simon and Rick on Their Way To a Crash Course Collision?
Within a few of the following images, you can clearly see both Rick and Simon driving on the same highway. Their destination is unknown but seeing as how they're going in the same direction, they likely have a similar destination. Although, could these images of Simon and Rick on the same highway be of Simon rolling up on Rick as Rick does some recon on Negan's Sanctuary?

Top 3 Creepy Events That Inspired Hollywood
Movies take their inspiration from where they can and no well is more plentiful than just life itself. It's true that there are times when the truth is a lot stranger than fiction. Sometimes the truth is just plain creepy. Here are my top 3 picks for creepy events that inspired pop culture.

These 5 Monsters from the Philippines Will Have You Quaking at the Sheer Thought of Them
Hollywood takes a lot of inspiration from everywhere and anywhere when it comes to scary monsters. Sometimes it's inspired by different cultures and expands on them or dips into pagan themes. With that in mind, I dipped into my own heritage to take a look at the top five monsters I would love to see on the American big screen. All of these monsters stem from memory as a child (because telling your 6-year-old son about stuff like this roaming around is solid parenting), and the ones on this list are the ones that stuck with me the most.

The Dark Friendship of Oskar and Eli in "Let the Right One In"
I talked about Oskar a week or two ago and doing that got my mind rolling around about Let the Right One In all over again. It's been years since I've first seen this film and I still think about it every now and again. I suppose that's what makes it one of my most favorite movies. Thinking about Oskar, I obviously had to turn my thoughts to Eli. I made mention in the previous article how I sensed something dark in her friendship with Oskar. Now, I won't deny that there is something sweet about their relationship. They're both people who are invisible for their own reasons who found each other. They bonded over that and their relationship builds from there. However, as I think more Eli and the circumstances around her friendship with Oskar, I can't help think that perhaps there are darker things to come as Oskar and Eli's relationship develop after the end of the movie.
